I recently needed to compile Inventor under cygwin. I had to tweak a
few things, but it seems to work fine. It is possible that someone
has already posted instructions for compiling under cygwin, but just
in case:
A tar file containing the changed files can be downloaded from:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~job/Tmp/inventor-patch_only.tar
These files are modified versions of the ones from Inventor 2.1.5-10.
There is a readme with instructions on how to use them.
For reference, and convenience, the modified files along with the
2.1.5-10 files can be had from here:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~job/Tmp/inventor-patch_and_2.1.5-10.tar.gz
Everything was compiled using gcc version 3.3.1 under Win2K. Enjoy.
It would be nice if someone would integrate the changes into the files
hosted by SGI. (After making sure I did not break anything for
non-cygwin systems.)
